TfL told stop leaving Tube ticket barriers open and get serious about fare dodging by tylerthe-theatre Tags:LondonUnited Kingdom 5 comments I mean why bother closing them? People just barge/follow through and the TFL staff stand there and do nothing. Need more ‘revenue enforcement officers’ hidden and ready to pounce Not sure why they leave it open tbh. See it a lot. Don’t get it. >Jared Wood, London Transport Regional Organiser for the [RMT](https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/rmt) union,[ told the committee](https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/facial-recognition-cameras-fare-dodging-tube-london-underground-tfl-b1237049.html) that two of TfL’s four categories of fare evader, accidental and opportunistic, “are eliminated if the barrier is staffed and if it is up and running”. No shit. That would require staff to get off their phones or to not stand around in gaggles ignoring the job. They need to give an electric shock on the barrier if you do not tap in / out.
